Hello everyone and welcome to the Girls Camp podcast Patreon, Girls Camp After Dark. It is me,

Haley Rawl, your host. Today's episode is the highly anticipated, and I mean highly anticipated by me

personally, CES letter breakdown part two. I'm not going to lie to you. I kind of thought that the first half of the CES letter breakdown part two. I'm not going to lie to you. I kind of thought that the first half of the

CES letter was much meatier than the second half. So I was like, you know, excited to do this episode,

but I thought we covered most of the good stuff. And boy, was I wrong. I genuinely think that

this section is even more interesting,

if you can believe it. There is a lot of dunking on Brigham Young. And if there is one person

that I dislike more than Joseph Smith, it would have to be Brigham Young. So getting to shit

talk Brigham Young so much is really just a

special treat for me. On the docket for today, we are covering prophets, testimonies, and spiritual

witnesses, the priesthood restoration, the witnesses of the Book of Mormon, temples and free masonry, and science.

Let's talk about prophets, shall we? The main point that Jeremy makes here in the section

about prophets is how little sense it makes to say that on one hand, prophets are the literal mouthpiece of God,

speaking for God, sharing the commandments of God to his people on earth today. And then on the other

hand saying prophets are imperfect and they can make mistakes and sometimes they are just speaking

as imperfect men.

This, of course, begs the question of how one is supposed to discern between prophetic guidance

that is actually from God and just mistakes resulting from a prophet's own personal opinions.

And to illustrate this point, Jeremy points out a bunch of historical

examples of prophetic errors. Many of these come from, you guessed it, Brigham Young.
